Cat prescribed Piroxicam for bladder problems. What are side effects?

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

My cat was prescribed Piroxicam for bladder problems.

The vet has found no sign of cancer but blood markers indicate there is a possibility she will develop cancer.

What are the side affects of this medication?  I’ve noticed excessive drinking and a loss of appetite.  Is this normal?
